Welcome back to the Millennial Ag podcast and another episode in our May Mental Health Series where we dig deep into the real stories and struggles of emotional wellness in agriculture.This week, we’re joined by Terryn Drieling—formerly known for her platform Faith Family and Beef—who has rebranded and refocused her work around mental health in rural America. Terryn brings her lived experience, raw honesty, and powerful insight to this conversation, sharing how her journey with grief, emotional suppression, breast cancer, and personal healing led her to the principle that “good movement draws good movement.”Together, we talk about the cultural barriers in agriculture that keep people from addressing their mental and emotional health—especially the deeply rooted idea that showing emotion is a sign of weakness. Terryn opens up about how doing the inner work has not only changed her life and relationships, but also how it’s inspired her to disrupt the status quo and lead others, especially rural women, into deeper healing and connection.This conversation is full of truth, courage, and hope. If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode or wondered how to help someone you love without “fixing” them, this episode is for you.Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode! Connect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingFollow on ThreadsVisit her websiteListen to Good Movement Draws Good Movement PodcastConnect with Valene & Katharine:Follow us on Instagram @millennial_agCheck out our websiteEmail us at talktous@millennialag.comFollow us on X/Twitter @millennial_agFollow us on TikTok @millennial.agResources & Links:Dial 988 for the 988 Crisis Lifeline - call or text nationally for immediate crisis supportMental Health First Aid NAMI - has affiliates in every state and in more than 1,100 local communities across the country, providing local support and resources.

 In this powerful solo episode of Dishin’ Up Diaspora, Chef Emme takes you on a deep and flavorful journey into the sacred world of Candomblé, the Afro-Brazilian religion where food is a divine offering—not just nourishment. This episode explores how Bahian cuisine, African spirituality, and ancestral resilience intersect in powerful, soul-stirring ways. Rooted in West African spiritual traditions and shaped by centuries of resistance and adaptation, Candomblé is more than a religion—it’s a living archive of cultural survival. Emme breaks down how each orixá (deity) has specific foods and rituals associated with them, and how those offerings serve as acts of reverence, communication, and empowerment. Learn how ingredients like dendê oil, black-eyed peas, and banana leaves carry deep spiritual meaning and connect present-day Bahians to their African ancestors. Through stories of sacred dishes like abará, moqueca, vatapá, and caruru, Emme illustrates how Friday meals in Bahia—often meatless and rich with ritual—reflect a complex spiritual practice that blends Catholicism, African traditional religion, and Indigenous beliefs. From honoring Oxalá with white foods to preparing spicy abará for Iansã, each dish becomes a vehicle for prayer, protection, and remembrance. This episode invites you to rethink how you experience food—not just as sustenance, but as ceremony, memory, and resistance. Whether you're familiar with Afro-Brazilian religious practices, or just beginning to explore the spiritual dimensions of food, this episode offers insight, reverence, and connection. ✨ You’ll Learn About: The roots and resilience of Candomblé in BrazilThe role of food as a sacred offering in Afro-diasporic religionsWhy Bahian dishes like moqueca and abará are spiritually significantThe symbolism of dendê (red palm oil) in Afro-Brazilian ritualsHow Friday traditions in Bahia reflect deep spiritual syncretismWhether you’re a chef, a cultural explorer, a spiritual seeker, or part of the African diaspora, this episode will deepen your understanding of how food sustains not just the body—but the soul. Follow us on IG @dishinupdiasporapodcast and @chefemme_
